Everything you need to know about the NIS2 directive
June 15, 2023
The NIS2 Directive, also known as the new version of the Network and Information Security Directive, is a European directive aimed at strengthening cybersecurity in the European Union (EU).
The Directive is designed to help organizations protect themselves against cyber threats and to ensure that the EU’s cyber infrastructure is more secure and robust. Now that the directive has been finally officially published, member states have 21 months - ie until 17 October 2024 - to integrate the provisions of the directive into local legislation. In this white paper we will give an overview of the most important provisions of the NIS2 directive and how they apply to organizations in the EU. We will also discuss the obligations that organizations have to comply with the directive and how we, ESET Netherlands and Eversheds Sutherland, can support this. We hope this white paper will be useful for organizations looking to learn more about how to protect themselves against cyberthreats and how to comply with the NIS2 directive.
